The Google Maps Car?
by Robert Hodgen in Me, Stuff I'm Into on June 28th, 2008. No Comments.

I was driving home on the Polk Parkway one day and saw a car with a funny-looking thing mounted on top of it. I wasn’t sure what it was, but after getting behind them at a toll I saw it was an array of cameras. After I paid my toll I caught up with them and took a few pictures. Below I’ve got a map of where I was, if it was Google taking pictures they haven’t posted them to Google Maps yet.

These pictures were taken with my iPhone. In the last photo you can see a laptop as well as a better picture of the cameras.

My latest Website
by Robert Hodgen in News, Projects, Stuff I'm Into on June 28th, 2008. No Comments.

MacBook 411 is my latest project, its a website I started not to long ago and plan on posting some content to about Apple’s MacBook computer lineup. Right now its just a blog, but if it gets popular I may toss a forum on there as well. 

The name MacBook 411 comes from The 411 Forums naming scheme and follows my other Apple site, OS X 411. MacBook 411 has an RSS feed and I recommend subscribing to it for the latest news on Apple’s MacBook lineup.

WWDC08 is Over :(
by Robert Hodgen in Apple, Me, News, Stuff I'm Into on June 13th, 2008. One Comment.

The last of Apple’s 2008 WWDC sessions ended today at 3:15 today and the labs are closing at 6:15.

This was my first year attending Apple’s WWDC and it was great. I’ve meet some interesting mac and iPhone developers as well as some Apple engineers. I look forward to attending WWDC next year, and hopefully I will be able to attend WWDC09 as a student, as I did this year.

I’ve learned a lot here at WWDC and I plan on doing some more programming. On my other blog, OS X 411, I live blogged the WWDC keynote and have some more WWDC updates available there as well.

Steve Jobs and I

That “I” being me of course.

After the WWDC08 keynote concluded, Jason followed a crowd of people and managed to grab this picture.

Steve Jobs and I

I didn’t get a chance to speak with him, or even shake his hand, but a picture is nice.
